The intriguing name for Benjamin Smith’s Norfolk business came from an ink sgraffito painting he bought at Spitalfields antiques market.
The School for Scandal reflects Smith’s passion for collecting the slightly edgier end of antiques, including taxidermy and pickled specimens.
This interest started when he was a teenager and became a business when his partner Hayley Miller suggested in 2013 that he sell some pieces to make room for more.
